Uncle Yuan stood outside Mu Xiaocheng's door, shining a flashlight, banging on the door and shouting, "Miss, Miss, are you inside?"
"Butler, has something happened to Miss inside?"
The speaker was one of the Meng family's maids, and her tone was very anxious.
Uncle Yuan was sweating profusely with anxiety. He knew that the young lady was afraid of the dark, and in this situation, it was very easy for something to go wrong.
"Oh, right, there's a spare key to the young lady's room. I... I'll go find it."
Uncle Yuan suddenly remembered that he had a spare key, so he grabbed a flashlight and went downstairs to look for it.

Ji Huaishen got off the plane and sat in the car, looking very tired.
He leaned back in the back seat, his eyes gently closed, taking a nap.
Shang Qi was sitting in the passenger seat, intending to doze off, when he received a message.
After reading the message, he frowned and looked at Ji Huaishen in the back seat.
"Sir, our men have sent word."
"The villa area where the Meng family lives suddenly lost power due to an electrical fault."
Upon hearing Shang Qi's words, Ji Huaishen suddenly opened his eyes.
power failure?
That means...
His heart tightened, and he said somewhat flusteredly, "Stop the car."
Shang Qi stared at Ji Huaishen, puzzled. Before he could react, he saw Ji Huaishen already sitting in the driver's seat.
"Tell them to send someone to fix the circuit immediately. I'll go there first. Go and get some vehicles, the sooner the better."
"yes."
Shang Qi nodded and quickly got out of the car.
Just as I closed the car door, I saw the black Maybach speed away like an arrow.
Shang Qi was stunned. This speed...
Is the gentleman preparing to risk his life?

Mu Xiaocheng sat on the ground, as if she were isolated from the world.
In her mind, the memory of that time—after her mother lost her mind, she beat her, scolded her, and locked her in a dark room—flashed through her mind again and again.
They're not giving her any food; they want to starve her to death.
Her mother's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face flashed before her eyes again and again.
It was also a rainy day when she grabbed her hand and said she wanted to die with her.
Her small body struggled desperately, trying to escape, but it was no use...
She could only run, run for her life.
She witnessed her mother commit suicide by jumping off a building during a moment of madness.
She watched helplessly as her mother died in front of her.
Blood was everywhere, washed away by the rain. The eyes were wide open, and the expression was ferocious.
My mother said she was a jinx and shouldn't have been born.
That day, that rainy night, her small body crouched beside her mother's cold body, unable to even cry.
The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of accusations and ridicule from onlookers...
In the darkness, nothing can be seen, yet it seems as if everything exists.
Her fear was laid bare in the darkness.
She knelt on the cold floor, her eyes vacant, unable to move an inch.
Uncle Yuan searched for a long time but couldn't find a spare key, so he had to take the lock-picking tools and prepare to pick the lock.
But he was just a housekeeper, not a professional, so he didn't know how to do it and could only smash it with brute force.
"Oh dear, butler, this lock is specially made. How could it be opened with just a couple of smashes? Let's find the key."
The maid said anxiously.
Uncle Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and directed the servants, "Quickly, go and call the young master. Also, have the power company come over immediately."
After saying that, he started smashing things again.
However, just as he knocked twice, a faint, bright yellow light suddenly shone through the outside window.
Uncle Ming paused, and the maid pulled back the curtains not far from Mu Xiaocheng's room, saying excitedly, "Butler, it's car headlights, shining right into our young lady's room."
